Leslie Leathers – a keenmotorist and former Monte Carlo Rally competitor.In May 1965 it was bought from Leathers by motoring connoisseurand collector the late George Milligen in whose ownership it remaineduntil his demise in 2004, sharing the motor house during that time withthe likes of a Mercedes 300SL, the marques Pegaso, Bentley, Delageand Facel Vega and the fabulous 38/250 SSK Mercedes-Benz. In1965 the recorded mileage was just 7,928 miles and Milligen’s hugelydetailed notebook records mileages and all work completed up to2004. His family, who have retained the car until now, have continuedto record subsequent work, confirming the car’s continuous historyand careful maintenance through to the present recorded mileage of135,300 miles.Milligen re-registered the car FAH 444 upon acquisition in 1965 andrepainted it in the familiar Milligen ‘house livery’ of Air Force Blue.He was to tour this car extensively on the continent, the dashboardaltimeter proving a useful accessory for such trips.
